There are some combinations that simply just work and one of them is tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
I took my super yummy creamy tomato soup recipe and made “croutons” from a grilled cheese sandwich.
What You Need
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions chopped
3 cloves garlic finely minced
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
3 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Sour Cream
White Bread
Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp of butter
1/4 Cup of 2% Skim Milk ( not shown)
What To Do
Mince the garlic finely and place into a pan with oil. Cook until golden – the place onions into the pan and cook till soften
Get a large stockpot and place onions and garlic with stewed tomatoes and tomato paste + chicken broth + pepper!
Cook on high until the soup starts to boil then reduce heat for 20 -30 minutes… Let those flavors marry 
While you wait for the soup it is a perfect time to make grilled cheese sandwiches
Place 1/2 Tablespoon of butter into a pan – spread the other 1/2 Tablespoon of button on the bread.
I like a cheesy sandwich – so I use a lot of cheese but the amount is really up to you. Place the cheese between the center of the two buttered pieces of bread on place it in the hot pan. Flip after 2 minutes or until golden brown
Next Cut the Grilled Cheese Sandwich into little bite size pieces
Now back to the soup.
Either with a blender or immersion blender – blend the soup till it is a puree add milk at this time.
Place soup in bowl – add a bit of sour cream and add some “grilled cheese” croutons and enjoy!

I wasn’t able to print the recipe and it looks really good. Can you email it to me?

Thanks!
At the top of this you state Chicken STOCK. In the directions you state chicken broth. Does it make a difference if it is stock or broth?
Thanks!
No it does not – I used chicken stock though
I made the 7Up Biscuits and let me tell you they were just fantastic. I couldn’t stop eating them, but felt sorry for the rest of the family and let them have some. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
On the chew the other day they made tomato soup. They roasted the tomatoes after draining them, and garlic and onions in the oven for about 40 minutes, to give richness of flavor. Then added back into the soup the drained tomato juice. Might try that and finish up with your recipe. Thanks
